How to get started...Debra offers intimate class sizes to provide personalized attention to each student in a group setting.

Classes run on a monthly series system. You pick a class day and time that works best for you. You can choose either 60 minute class for $10 or 75 minute class for $13, times the number of weeks in a month, equals the cost for that monthly series. If you choose to take multiple classes per week, then you register/purchase multiple series for that month. Every month you re-register for the days and times that work best for you and registration/payment are due by the 25th of every month to secure your spot of the upcoming series. If a student has to miss one of their set classes during a series, they may make it up in any of the other weekly classes offered and have 3 months to do so.

​What is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga therapy is a self-empowering process, where the care-seeker, with the help of the Yoga therapist, implements a personalized and evolving Yoga practice, that not only addresses the illness in a multi-dimensional manner, but also aims to alleviate his/her suffering in a progressive, non-invasive and complementary manner. Depending upon the nature of the illness, Yoga therapy can not only be preventative or curative, but also serve a means to manage the illness, or facilitate healing in the person at all levels.

Classes Offered

Therapeutic Yoga - All LevelsTherapeutic Yoga is for those seeking personalized guidance to overcome their physical challenges, no matter what illnesses, injuries or structural anomalies may be present. This class offers alignment-based (Iyengar inspired) yoga, Yoga Therapy, the use of yoga props and The Great Yoga Wall. It is taught by a Debra Wolfe, a certified Yoga Therapist with a workshop feel, allowing for open dialog between the students and teacher. The focus is to restore balance. Students receive individualized instruction that is not possible in a typical yoga class setting. Students are taught more complex alignment concepts to work with their particular bodies. Classes offered in monthly series​.

﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿Alignment-based Yoga - Level 1This class blends the alignment focus of Iyengar yoga and the heating work of vinyasa with therapeutic yoga techniques. Each session begins with a thorough warm-up, including 12 Tibetan Rites (yoga “calisthenics”) and 12 Sun Salutations. The remainder of each class addresses the specific needs of students in attendance. Class sequences involve the use of props as well as The Great Yoga Wall. These tools help students access proper alignment in the poses in order to strengthen, lengthen and relieve tension in the hips, shoulders and hamstrings. Level 1

Testimonials

The teaching at NW Yoga Shala is by far the best yoga instruction I have experienced. Debra is incredibly knowledgeable with a keen eye for alignment. She is able to see into the body and make shifts in your physical awareness that bring your practice to a whole new level. I drive an hour just to take her class and it has become the time I look forward to most in my week.​Abby Carl October 2017

I started with Debra after knee surgery inflamed the arthritis in my knee. She is such a patient teacher...always making sure that I'm feeling no pain in my knee during a pose, and altering the pose if necessary. After 18 months, the muscles surrounding my knee are so much stronger and my core strength has increased dramatically. I've been gardening pain free all season! ﻿

I can't say enough good things about Debra and her classes. She's so attentive to her client’s individual needs. Her knowledge and training are amassing. I look forward to going to class. In just a very short time I am seeing improvement. And I want more. ​ Debbie Jones May 2017
